Question Rolling fenders...

I'm not sure where to post this question but I think this is the right place since everyone here is slammed and probably rolled.

How much does it usually cost to roll fenders? I have been quoted $120 for the rear and I think thats a little pricey.

$120 is cheap. Remember, it is about quality not price because if they dent the car or jack up the paint, it may not ever be the same again. Go with the reputable shop, not cheap.

I'd just trim them. Ive been told a couple times that it is much better than rolling.

Trim the rear fenders out for sure. You will never rub and its a lot easir, the lip back there is way too big to roll.

I have never heard of trimming before, can the metal cut you after trimming it?

I am going to take my SC to M1 in El Monte to get a quote on how much they would charge me to pull the rears about 1.25". I have already rolled them, but in order to not rub, I have to pull them..

For me, shaving the rear fender was all I needed. Now that I'm back on stock wheels, I just put back those black fender trimmings and everything is all good.

I actually had Exact trim my rear fenders. If you're in the Bay Area, try either Exact Motorsports or One Ton Garage.
